Policy P4A does not address occupation by households with a strong local connection. Whilst the local needs of households are covered in Policy P4B, this is only in relation to rural exception sites. There is a failure to recognise the presence of neighbourhood plan policy dealing with local needs affordable housing on allocated housing sites. In addition, differences regarding the tenure split are not acknowledged.
Addition of a new paragraph in Policy P4A after paragraph 8 as follows:
The provision of affordable housing on allocated sites to meet the needs of households in that Parish or Neighbourhood will be supported where it is consistent with a neighbourhood plan.
Amend paragraph 175 in the justification to P4A to include the following:
In determining planning applications, regard shall also be paid to relevant neighbourhood plan provisions.
